Exact cosmological solutions for spherically symmetric models, both in four and higher
dimensions are obtained within the framework of Lyra geometry. It is observed that there
is no singularity at finite past in our four-dimensional model. For the five-dimensional
model, the diminision of extra dimension with the evolution of the Universe is exhibited.
The physical behaviour of the models is examined in vacuum (for the four-dimensional case)
and in the presence of perfect fluids (for both four- and five-dimensional models).
